Krowne Wall Mount Pre-Rinse Faucet & How to Install it

Krowne Wall Mount Pre-Rinse FaucetNeed to install your spring coiled faucet against a vertical surface instead of horizontally on a countertop? I’ve got your answer.

Krowne makes a wall mount pre-rinse faucet that you can attach to either a sink backsplash or a wall. The package includes hardware for placement both ways, and the company provides instructions for easy self-installation.

Faucet is Easy to Install,
Plus Tough Enough to Last

Plus, the faucet comes assembled – and with all the hardware you need (including wall bracket and mounting kit too).

Because these faucets are designed specifically for commercial use, you can be confident that they can hold up to lots of heavy-duty use.

Use Wall-Mounted Faucets Beyond the Kitchen…

Washing Dog in Shower with Pre-Rinse Wall-Mounted FaucetIn addition to using a commercial faucet at the kitchen sink, you can also place them elsewhere. For example, you can put them over a deep laundry room sink for heavy-duty washing and cleaning.

Alternatively, some people install them in a shower to wash their dogs. Since you install them vertically, you don’t need a sink countertop!

By the way, Krowne makes a variety of different sized commercial wall-mounted faucets. You can also get a version that includes only the pre-rinse spout without the lower faucet. This model comes with the 12″ lower faucet (as shown in the photo above).

Many people ask if you can adjust the upper wall bracket. You can move it up and down the bar to find the ideal wall placement. If you need the bracket to be shorter for your particular situation, some people have cut the wall mount with a hacksaw to shorten it.

Kingston Brass Kitchen Faucet – Is It a Good Buy?

Kingston Brass Kitchen Faucet with Spring SpoutThe Kingston Brass Pull-Down Faucet has more of a sleek, modern look rather than an industrial appearance.

It does feature the commercial-style coiled spring spout. However, its clean, straight lines make it a good fit for an upscale contemporary kitchen.

This unit features the same solid brass construction and ceramic disc cartridge that other high-quality faucets have. Plus, the package includes a matching deck plate.

However, this faucet has a lower price point than many other comparable spring spout faucets. ($180 currently).

Is It a Good Buy?

If you like the modern style, the satin nickel finish (or polished chrome) and the cylindrical spout shape, this could be a good buy. You can save over $100 vs buying other similar models, for example, the Moen Align.

Idea: Some people take the money they save and get an under-counter water filtration unit or soap dispenser to place in their existing sink holes. (This assumes that you already have 3 sink holes and prefer not to use the included deck plate.)

Alternatively, you can just take the money you save and stick it in your pocket.

How to Install the Kingston Brass Faucet:

Kingston Brass breaks down the installation process into 7 simple steps. The product package includes all of the parts you will need. Additional tools are listed below.

Start by shutting off the water supply lines. Next, check that the faucet hole diameter measures between 1″ and 1.5″.


You can follow the complete installation instructions in the product manual. The manual also includes handy information on replacement parts (just in case). Cartridge KSRP3891C and Handle LSH8771CTL.

Tools to have on hand:

  • Basin Wrench
  • Adjustable Wrench
  • Screwdriver
  • Teflon Tape
  • Silicone Sealant

Tip: Keep your faucet looking new by drying it after you use it. In addition, you can use carnauba wax occasionally as a protectant/sealant. Don’t use abrasive cleaners.

Geyser Commercial Style Kitchen Faucet, Worth the Cost?

This commercial style kitchen faucet has a simple, clean design. In addition, it cleans up easily and you can install it quickly and easily with minimal tools or skills.

That said, the Geyser costs more than some comparable products that have virtually identical designs. Check out the Spring Faucet Comparison Chart for more information.

Geyser Commercial Style Kitchen Faucet in Stainless Steel with Coiled Spring Hose
Geyser Coiled Spring Faucet

The Geyser commercial coiled spring faucet has a very similar design to the Vigo Edison Faucet. The main difference is the color of the hose. The Vigo Edison has black, the Geyser has a metallic hose to match the stainless steel coloring of the coil.

They both use high quality components like solid brass interior construction, a ceramic disc cartridge and a Neoperl aerator. In addition, they both include a 1 Year Limited Lifetime Warranty with the products.

As you can see from the diagram below, they offer a long list of benefits. However, this spring faucet costs about $50 more than the Vigo Edison. If you want to save some money, you may want to shop around, unless this product goes on sale that is.
